These people have the right to go to heck in a handbasket if they want to do that. As long as they keep their problems within their own borders. Democracy would be nice, but this war is not a failure if these people elect to return to the Dark Ages.

We must do everything in our power to prevent this. If it means 10,000 Americans dead and a 200 year occupation, we must ensure Iraq becomes a secular democracy. Allowing it to lapse into a theocracy (whether Shiite or Sunni) would legitimize the other despotisms in the region, and cause Iraq to serve as an extremely wide and sturdy bridge between the Iranian clerics and the rest of the Muslim world.
